How many times do you pray to God in a day?
Q. I mean as human beings we must always, any time any where pray to god, but do you spent any specific time in a day pray to god. E.G (Muslims pray five times a day), what about you?

A. I pray as many times as the Spirit moves me to pray. Sometimes I am prompted by the Spirit to pray for someone in need. Other times I am prompted to pray for some event. I definitely pray more than 2 times everyday.

A. So true... We are committing a holocaust every day, yet so many don t feel any guilt and no one is held accountable for any of the millions of innocent lives taken every day. Perhaps if people realised how closely linked the plight animals and our own, they may care. If the world s population were all vegan/vegetarian we wouldn t have world hunger, there would be enough food for everyone. There would be less demand for fossil fuels, since intensive agriculture consumes so much. There would be less pollution in our water, land, air and less disease related to the chemicals used and cholesterol.

A. Dear, Peace be upon you. In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. A blind man came to Prophet Muhammad telling Muhammad that He want to perform Prayers at home because he is Blind. Prophet Muhammad ask him, can you hear the Azan from your house, the Blind man said Yes. Then Prophet Muhammad told him to pray in the Mosque. For men, as long as you can hear the Azan, you're to pray in the Mosque and not in the house. It is more appropriate to pray in the Mosque rather praying in the house. Wabillahhitaufiq Walhidayah Wassalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahhi Wabarakatuh.
